On a wild first day of NFL free agency, the Minnesota Vikings saw great change sweep through their quarterback room, as longtime signal-caller Kirk Cousins reportedly agreed to sign a lucrative contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
Hours later, the Vikings added to the room, as the franchise agreed to terms on a one-year contract with veteran QB Sam Darnold late Monday night, according to multiple reports. Darnold’s deal is worth $10 million.
The 26-year-old Darnold, the No. 3 pick in the 2018 NFL draft, has bounced around between three teams, the New York Jets, Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers, in six NFL seasons.
